  - I have an accounting degree. Admittedly, I've never used it and it's been over a dozen years since I took an accounting class. - ty97 Feb 3, 08:12 5
    - So? Accounting degree does not equal tax preparer. - con_carne Feb 3, 08:17

      - this. -- nm - znufrii Feb 3, 08:18
      - Owning a business kinda makes the entire tax thing a mess. -- nm - Spawn - The Blood Feud God Feb 3, 08:18 2

      - Yeah. Outside of points, home ownership is pretty simply: Mortgage interest deduction. Property Tax Deduction. -- nm - ty97 Feb 3, 08:24
    - *phew* -- nm - znufrii Feb 3, 08:07 4
      - [deleted] 3
        
        good god no. - znufrii Feb 3, 08:12 1

        heh. nmbJD - Spawn - The Blood Feud God Feb 3, 08:12
- I haven't done my own taxes in probably 15 years. How is that a failure? -- nm - decline Feb 3, 08:05 2
  - When you go to jail for not doing your taxes for 15 years. -- nm - Spawn - The Blood Feud God Feb 3, 08:05 1
    - heh :). You mean taxes aren't voluntary? -- nm - decline Feb 3, 08:06

    - oh, I had to figure that out when I worked for Starbucks and was cashing out stock options and espp shares - znufrii Feb 3, 08:16
    - or you could just had the stuff to someone, answer 1 or 2 questions and just sign the docs when they are ready - stress free. -- nm - decline Feb 3, 08:15 1
      - *failure* -- nm - ty97 Feb 3, 08:17
    - I think you should do them yourself after researching and then if you're unsure, pay someone. learn first, pay later. -- nm - the amanda nones Feb 3, 08:14
- Failure is getting more money back? -- nm - Spawn - The Blood Feud God Feb 3, 08:04 5
  - I know where you are going, but the actual answer is "Yes". Just for a different reasons than you mean. - Name Withheld By Request Feb 3, 08:05 4
    - Oh, totally agreed. Everytime I see (or make) a post of: "Guess how much I am getting back!?!" that is my first thought. -- nm - Spawn - The Blood Feud God Feb 3, 08:06 3
      - Yep. My wife is choked when I regularly get back $1,000+ (mostly due to political donations that are tough to predict) and she usually gets $100. - Name Withheld By Request Feb 3, 08:10 2
        
        J, last night: "How can I get a $5000 tax return?" - znufrii Feb 3, 08:25
        
        I'm getting about 2500 back this year but it couldn't be helped. -- nm - Reagen Feb 3, 08:23
